Subject: 19 y.o. from Maine on a freshly double dipped blotter trip.

It gets the highest rating for me as it was my first GD show. I recently went to a JGB show in Old Orchard Beach the year before which was incredible and ... I was hooked. Drove down in my Subaru hatchback with a school friend. As we walked through the overpass we were greeted by a fellow dead head that had freshly double dipped blotter. My first trip was at that JGB show so I was fairly a newbie to tripping so I was naive to what double dipped meant. I only took one but my friend took a whole 10 strip and the dead head who sold it to us observed and stated "you're fucked" and he looked at me with great concern lol. We then made our way in and sat down and I was already feeling it when they started playing. I absolutely loved Bertha despite any imperfections and I recall thinking to myself how intense this trip was already getting and then I looked over to my friend and he was just talking jibberish and visually tracking his moving hands. I touched his shoulder to get his attention and he immediately stood up with fear in his eyes and proceeded to abruptly leave. I never saw him again until he came to get his duffle bag from me a month later. lol I asked what happened and where did he go and he stated that some nice people took care of him and he decided to hang with them for a few weeks. lol After he abruptly left it really started to kick in. I was definitely peaking at this point. It was like a complete dream state. I remember the light coming on halfway through the show and everyone in the stadium started doing the human wave. That was just incredible!!!!!!!! Everyone in their tye dye shirts really made it look incredible especially tripping the way I was. I remember loving The Wheel and really getting emotional about it lol. When the show eneded and we were exiting, a guy told me to not even look at the security guards as they were being rough with the crowd. I was still tripping so hard and finally got to my Subaru which was vandalized and had "dents" all over it and 4 slashed tires. Well a kind young woman saw I was in distress and came over and told me to place my hand on the tires and I then realized that I was just tripping and seeing "melted tires" lol. I remember thanking her so much and the guards started to come over and told me that I have to leave right now. Oh shit!! Okay, there I was going down Interstate 95 and the highway had big waves and I was going up and down lol. I saw a fellow deadhead hitchhiking so I decided to pull over and pick him up (on 95 lol). He got in and said oh you were at the show and I looked at him and said yeah, it was great. When he saw my eyes, I could see a look of terror come over him and he stated "Okay, I can be let outat this next exit, thanks" lol. So I dropped him off and realized that I shouldn't be driving so I stopped at the next rest area and slept it off. I absolutely don't condone what I did. I was 19 and stupid but I will never ever forget that experience. It's permanently embedded in my core memories.

The sound quality on this one is fair, good presence and pretty clean, I'll give it a 3.5 stars (leaning a little toward 4). The gig itself is actually ...
